Acts 17:14-34
14And then immediatelyG2112 the brethren sent awayG1821 PaulG3972 to goG4198 as to the seaG2281; but SilasG4609 and Timotheus abode there. 15But they that conducted PaulG3972 broughtG71 him as farG2193 as AthensG116; and, having receivedG2983 a commandmentG1785 to SilasG4609 and Timotheus, that they should comeG2064 to him as quicklyG5036 as possible, they departed. 16But in AthensG116, while PaulG3972 wasG1510 waiting for them, his spiritG4151 wasG1510 painfully excited in him seeingG2334 the cityG4172 given up to idolatry. 17He reasonedG1256 thereforeG3767 in the synagogueG4864 with the JewsG2453, and those who worshipped, and in the market-place every dayG2250 with those he met with. 18But some alsoG2532 of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers attacked him. And some saidG3004, What would this chatterer sayG3004? and some, He seemsG1380 to beG1510 an announcer of foreign demonsG1140, because he announced the glad tidings of JesusG2424 and the resurrectionG386 [to them]. 19And having taken holdG1949 on him they broughtG71 [him] to Areopagus, sayingG3004, Might we knowG1097 what this newG2537 doctrine which is spokenG2980 by thee [is]? 20For thou bringest certainG5100 strangeG3579 thingsG3778 to our earsG189. We wishG2309 thereforeG3767 to knowG1097 what these thingsG3778 may mean. 21NowG1161 all [the] AtheniansG117 and the strangersG3581 sojourning there spent their time in nothing else than to tellG3004 and to hearG191 the news. 22And PaulG3972 standingG2476 in the midstG3319 of Areopagus saidG5346, AtheniansG117, in every way I seeG2334 you given up to demon worship; 23for, passingG1330 through and beholding your shrines, I foundG2147 alsoG2532 an altar on which was inscribed, To the unknownG50 1GodG2316. Whom thereforeG3767 ye reverence, not knowingG50 [him], him I announce to you. 24The 2GodG2316 who has madeG4160 the worldG2889 and all thingsG3778 which are in it, he, being LordG2962 of heavenG3772 and earthG1093, does not dwellG2730 in templesG3485 madeG4160 with handsG5499, 25nor is served by men's handsG5495 as needing somethingG5100, himself givingG1325 to all lifeG2222 and breath and all thingsG3956; 26and has madeG4160 of oneG1520 blood every nationG1484 of menG444 to dwellG2730 upon the whole faceG4383 of the earthG1093, having determined ordained timesG2540 and the boundaries of their dwellingG2730, 27that they may seekG2212 3GodG2316; if indeed they might feel after him and findG2147 him, although he is not farG3112 from each oneG1520 of us: 28for in him we liveG2198 and moveG2795 and exist; as alsoG2532 some of the poets amongst you have saidG3004, For we areG1510 alsoG2532 his offspringG1085. 29BeingG1510 thereforeG3767 [the] offspringG1085 of 4GodG2316, we oughtG3784 not to thinkG3543 that which isG1510 divineG2304 to beG1510 like goldG5557 or silverG696 or stoneG3037, [the] graven form of man's art and imagination. 305GodG2316 thereforeG3767, having overlooked the timesG5550 of ignoranceG52, nowG3568 enjoins menG444 that they shall all everywhereG3837 repentG3340, 31because he has setG2476 a dayG2250 in which he is going to judgeG2919 the habitable earthG3625 in righteousnessG1343 by [the] manG435 whom he has appointedG3724, giving the proof [of it] to all [in] having raisedG450 him from among [the] deadG3498. 32And when they heardG191 [of the] resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498, some mocked, and some saidG3004, We will hearG191 thee againG3825 alsoG2532 concerningG4012 this. 33ThusG3779 PaulG3972 wentG1831 out of their midstG3319. 34But some menG435 joining themselves to him believedG4100; among whom alsoG2532 was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a womanG1135 by nameG3686 Damaris, and othersG2087 with them.
